With Fred Schebesta

My guest today is Fred Schebesta. Fred is an award-winning business leader, best known for co-founding one of the world’s leading comparison websites, Finder.com


Finder.com was born out of a simple concept: to educate people and directly compare student credit cards. Over the years, it expanded and evolved to compare a range of products across different industries. Today, Finder.com compares virtually everything from cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets, credit cards and insurance to savings, travel, technology and electronics. Finder.com attracts over 8-10 million visitors per month and now operates in over 80 countries.


We cover:

  • The most challenging parts of working from home during COVID

  • Using narratives to communicate with his staff

  • How Fred segments his sleep

  • Fred’s approach to eliminating digital distractions

  • Why Fred doesn’t have a TV

  • How Fred consumes the news

  • Having an emotional coach

  • What self-care looks like in Fred’s life

  • Why Fred frequently reminds himself he will die

  • How Fred creates space for creativity in his calendar

  • Fred’s strategies for identifying the best talent in recruitment
